' Wrote:Well... I dunno Ashes. Same could be said of the Bretonian capital ship like. Sure, the gunboat and dessie look similar, but then the battleship looks rather completely different.
I don't think you understand the principle if you think that. They do have varying shapes, but they keep the same design principles.
Quote:The other issue is that the gunboat was designed by Angel of Mercy then cruiser redesigned by Luis and now battleship made by Hades. Three different modellers mean three different models,
Lame cop-out excuse. It's just modellers being lazy and building what they want to instead of doing research and keeping with existing designs.
Example is the Rogue/Molly line. Vanilla ships were designed by DA, Greyhound by me, Barghest by AoM, Gunboat and Destroyer by Doom. Does that give us an excuse to make them look completely different from their design principles? No.
Quote: but I'll be honest with you and say that I would actually hate having the cruiser and battleship being just bigger versions of the gunboat. It would be boring IMO. So as long as the textures are consistent with the rest of the current Hessian line, I think the models will look similar enough.
Again, completely missing the point. I never said they should look like bigger versions of the Gunboat, that's closed minded thinking. I just said they should keep the same design principles given by the Gunboat. After all, AoM is the father of the Hessian line.
' Wrote:Textures, dear modelers.
They make the ships look like they're from the same faction.
Shows how much you know about modelling. A cube with Rheinland textures would still be a cube.
Quote:The gunboat isn't actually pretty - sorry to the modeller - but it's ewww.
Rheinland Ships aren't supposed to be pretty. They're utility ships, designed to work, not to play. They are beautiful in their own industrial way.
Quote:It's also horrible in PvP, but this set aside it still isn't fitting for hessians and should be redone too.
